Apart from biological research, development of technology and accumulation of social capital are also required for the age of hydrogen energy. International cooperation is also a key factor. These concerted efforts will open the door for the age of renewable hydrogen energy (Fig. 6). 

Hydrogen can be a complement to other renewable energy technologies such as wind or solar because of its unique ability to store energy and release it efficiently, and should be embraced by all clean energy advocates. 

Furthermore, two technology-driven scenarios have been developed. In the first scenario, it is assumed that renewable hydrogen production must have a share of at least 50% from 2020 onwards ( REN ). In the second scenario, CCS technologies are additionally available ( REN-CCS ).
